Welcome to North Molton PTA's May Day virtual balloon race, we are hoping it will provide an exhilarating way to raise funds for our amazing primary school.

Our race launches at midday on 1st May 2023 from Chicago and lasts 7 days.
Balloons can be purchased for £3 and you can buy as many as you like. You can customise your balloon's shape, colour and helium content and then track your customised balloons throughout the 7 day race as it moves subject to real life weather conditions.
Can you get the balloon thickness and helium content just right for the weather conditions to get your balloon to travel the farthest before it pops? Why not purchase a few balloons and try different combinations in case one pops early.

The race is open to other organisations as well as to our School Community, and there are some great prizes on offer to the overall winners:
1st Prize - £100 Cash
2nd Prize - Amazon Alexa/echo Dot 4th Generation

We will also be awarding hamper prizes and vouchers for days out for the 3 winning balloons purchased in support of North Molton Primary PTA.

You can also purchase a balloon as a gift. You will receive an activation code which you can give to someone who can then customise their own balloon.
1. Register/login
2. Buy balloons through our page / link below (only £3 each)
3. Decorate your balloon and choose what helium content and thickness may get your balloon to travel the furthest. This can be modified before the race.
4. Watch the race start on 1st May at Midday.
5. Login to track your balloons on their journey and see if any are in a winning position as many times as you want over the 7 days

Our fundraising target is: £300

Gross monies raised so far: £132

Supporters so far: 20
